Why is the distro one is using Postgres' business? I'd imagine if I
want to run Postgres on Steve's Midnight Escape distribution, I should
be able to, without an error message. If this error is thown by
Postgres itself, I think it should be submitted as a bug report to
Postgres. If it's not a bug, it sounds like a poor design decision.

If the error is being thrown by something Debian added, well, it's
Holloween code, and we can take it out.
